Policy Ambitions Versus Reality – The Current Energy Transition in Vietnam
Vietnam is rapidly transitioning its energy system as power demand rises alongside industrial growth. While the government targets net-zero emissions by 2050, infrastructure, regulatory, and financing gaps slow progress. LNG, wind, and energy storage are key levers in the transition from coal to a greener energy mix.

The Strategic Response of Vietnamese Enterprises Amid US-China Tensions: Market Diversification and Embracing ESG Compliance
Vietnam’s export-led growth faces rising pressure as U.S.–China trade tensions and tariff risks intensify. While China+1 has driven past gains, firms must adapt by diversifying export markets, leveraging FTAs, and strengthening ESG capabilities to remain competitive and resilient in a shifting global trade environment.

政策愿景与现实——越南当前的能源转型
随着工业增长推动电力需求上升,越南正加快推进能源体系转型。尽管政府提出到2050年实现净零排放的目标,但基础设施、监管和融资方面的不足仍制约着转型进程。液化天然气(LNG)、风能和储能是推动从煤炭向更绿色能源结构转型的关键抓手。

中美紧张局势下越南企业的战略应对:市场多元化与 ESG 合规
随着中美贸易紧张局势加剧以及关税风险上升,越南以出口为导向的增长模式正面临更大压力。尽管「China+1」战略曾推动阶段性增长,但企业需通过出口市场多元化、充分利用自由贸易协定(FTA),以及强化ESG能力,才能在不断变化的全球贸易环境中保持竞争力和韧性。
